Jewelry award

So, I applied for an emerging jewelry artist award, and I sent these pictures.

Fall 2012

 And now, finally, a quick and surprising preview of my fall collection for 2012... All silver, either organic casting, or mold casting from natural materials. The series is called "organico".

A beautiful photo of my friend Iliana, who was a natural model.

A variety of organic textures, finding inspiration in nature.

"Organico" will feature semi precious stone beads and silver. This one has a kyanite bead. I also used jade, labradorite and moonstone. I feel so inspired!

Summer 2012

I have had no time to post my newest designs, busy as I am with orders and special requests from the different museum gift shops where I am selling my jewelry designs. These are some of the spring-summer collection 2012

 Resin rings with organic materials collected in the West Coast of Canada.

 Polymer clay bracelets with ink.

 More polymer clay bracelets - this one is in black and white tones.

Glass and polymer clay pendant hearts, accented with metallic alcohol inks.

Etching

A quick post to show my successful experiments with etching solution. My spring-summer line is on its way!

Brass pendants and cuffs

The production of several pendants and cuffs with the amazing techniques I can do with my new torch. These too will go to the museum gift shops in Mexico. My studio is soaring! Inspiration abounds! Yay for new tools!

Butterfly wings

I have so many fantastic orders coming from the multiple museum gift shops in Mexico, I am thrilled. I have a new soldering iron, and my butterfly wing pendants are looking better, not to say I can produce them much faster. Yay for good tools!

I am experimenting with new techniques, and my spring-summer collection will be great. Also, there is an exhibit in the Anthropology museum, and the theme is "Jade", so I am looking for inspiration in that theme. Samples to come soon.

A little advance; the new line will have silver and brass, and be inspired in greens and metals.

In context

This is my new earring set in the context of my ear... I have a new torch that works better than any of my previous torches. It fused the PMC in no time!

Earrings

This are my newest earrings, made by casting a shell. In the picture there is no way to understand the scale, so I will photograph them again in context...

November things

These are some works I have made before going to Mexico for the month of December.

Filigree earrings with Swarovski crystals in peach color.

Fall season collection

After a long break from posting in my blog, I am back with some more from my series "Imaginary Objects" combining brass stampings with found objects and bezel charms.
